Carbon fiber muscles.

For decades, wool was the go-to fabric for cycling jerseys. Then
someone tried cotton, which failed miserably. Then finally polyester —
which to this day has been a staple. And while the basic content of the
fabrics has remained the same, the Capo Drago Jersey is a new evolution
in jersey construction, and one that has rewritten the boundaries of
using only simple polyesters and Lycra. It's an evolution befitting of
the highly evolved specimens we wheel out of the garage for every ride.

In creating a jersey that defied convention, Capo had to completely
rethink its design and production processes from the ground up. The goal
was to create a garment of superior quality, comfort, and protection,
therefore run-of-the-mill polyester or pedestrian blends of Lycra would
not be good enough. Thus, the Advanced Technology System (ATS) was born.
The idea behind ATS was simple: Capo would create its next generation
of ride-enhancing cycling apparel by combining the most technical Swiss
and Italian fabrics they could find with the most advanced production
methods available.

The fully-featured Drago Jersey sits proudly at the top of the ATS
line — a technological marvel of fabric blending and modern garment
tailoring. Capo admits it's the most complicated jersey it's ever
created; it's an active, living, and breathing garment designed to adapt
to your body's temperature, fit, and moisture management needs as you
ride. And we wouldn't be prone to disagree. The Drago is also the most
elastic jersey Capo has ever made — it fits with a pronounced
weightlessness, yet is exceptionally strong. Four separate fabrics
comprise its multi-paneled and fully-taped construction: the most
prominent being the Flash ATS, which is a superlight tricot knit that
keeps the jersey fantastically stretchy while expediting moisture
transfer and virtually eliminating its dry time. Capo uses
laser-perforated stretch mesh in the underarms, and antimicrobial carbon
core threads in the mesh back panels to further regulate critical
temperature zones while you ride. The jersey features a soft, microfiber
collar, and a tight elastic hem that holds it in place whether you're
standing on the pedals or hunched over in the saddle. We also really
like the contrasting zipper with its protective garage at the hem of the
jersey, which protects your bibs from zipper abrasion. It's a small
detail for sure, but it further evidences Capo's absolute attention to
every detail, and its dedication to leaving no stone unturned in
engineering the ATS line.

The Drago is finished with a Schoeller Coldblack treatment that
reduces heat buildup while protecting you from the sun's harmful UV
rays. This makes even black fabrics cool to the touch under the hottest
sun, so you can imagine how well it assists your skin in naturally
maintaining a regulated body temperature. Three generous back pockets
store all your essentials, and an additional zippered security pocket
stashes a phone or media player for your ride. The pockets are
constructed with the same elasticity, so you can load them down without
worrying about compromising the jersey's fit or your profile. Though not
compressive, in order for the jersey's fabric to excel at keeping you
cool and dry, and your muscles fully supported, it needs to fit
exceptionally close to your skin. Bear this in mind if everything seems a
little tight the first time you put it on.

The Porsche of Jerseys

Familiarity:
I've used it several times

I love this jersey. Great fit. Excellent ventilation. Super high quality materials. Distinctive. When you look closely at all the details you realize the research and effort that went in to creating this garment.

I am 6 feet tall, 162 lbs and wear a Large and it fits like a very comfortable glove. I might be able to squeeze in to a medium but the jersey would be too short. Order up one size if you are between sizes.

One warning--this jersey would be very unflattering if you are carrying much extra weight around the middle and / or are bulked up on top. It is form fitting and is designed for a leaner build.

Comment on robp806535's review:

Any more info on the fit/form? The "Fit" category above says "form fit", others say "slim" and so on but I cannot ascertain how these terms relate. From what I would call "race fit" (no bagginess or bunching anywhere) to something more relaxed. I see no mention of this gradation on Capo's site either. More to the point, a 2012 Bikeradar review of the Drago said it was snug but not extreme. Extreme sounds like something is too small and therefore more likely it was not too small for the reviewer but that he prefers a fit that is not a "race fit". Indeed, past photos of this jersey seem to show some bunching up around the arms, shoulders, etc. But they could have changed the cut in the recent version. Your mannequin photo makes it look like a perfect race fit but these mannequin photos can be misleading. This is 2015 so ... Can you describe the fit of this latest Drago jersey a bit more? (I like a race fit.) Many thanks!
